Code for Pittsburgh Food Access Map

This map displays locations of free food distribution sites in the region. Click on locations to view specific information about each, like pick-up times, which may vary. Please note that many sites have eligibility requirements (age, level of need) so contact the distribution site first if you have questions. More information about the map, links to additional resources, and map filters can be found by clicking on the icons in the top right of the map. All efforts are being made to keep the map as current as possible, but there may be inaccuracies due to quickly changing site availability. To submit a change to the map, such as a new location or a change in food availability, please fill out a form in the Submit a New Location tab, contact DHS-COVID19Planning@AlleghenyCounty.US, or use the Leave Feedback tool.

The project is easily adaptable to be deployed in any community with options to customize the branding and range of resources listed. This project includes code for the front-end site as well as a custom back-end data management system.

Looking for front-end developers! Seeking engineers with VueJS experience to collaborate on front-end design for an expanded site (in the works).

Hey all, a ton of nation partners are working on creating a Nation Free Food Database.

Description: Providing United Backend Data for The Major Food Security Organizations…so wherever someone in need texts, calls, or visits a site they have access to all free food service locations such as food banks, schools, shelters, soup kitchens, and more.

We use Airtable to make it easy for volunteers to consolidate information, know which site to contact next, which questions to ask them, & keep the hours & data up to date - as well as to format it for distribution on our various frontend outreach methods - so people in need can easily find the food nearest them.

Call To Action: We need volunteers!!!To help keep the database updated, we need:

People to call food service sites to find out their capacity, hours of operation, and any supplies or assistance they need

To keep growing the list of connected partner organizations and sites

To scower websites for information about these services giving out food and help convert it to a reusable format for access by all our national hotlines & display methods (A partnership with Google Maps is in the works - they may be displaying data we collect as well!)

Software & web developers to help automate scraping and converting of data.

Let me know if your interested, or have existing datasets you would like to add.
